Germs "Lexicon Devil" 7" 45 1st Press Slash KBD Punk

This is it: the legendary, some would say notorious, 2nd Germs 7" 45, Lexicon Devil!!!

This is the 45 that really brought the Germs out of the "joke band" category and made people realize they were a force to be reckened with.

Quite simply, this is one of the best California/LA Punk 45's ever released, and is way way up there among any punk 45 ever released. One of a handful of my favorite records, punk or otherwise, ever.

This is a 1st pressing on Slash Records, record number SCAM 101. It comes in a yellow two sided, folded sleeve, with the cover artwork on one side, and with the lyrics printed on the reverse side.

Tracks  Side A: Lexicon Devil   Side B: No God, Circle One

The music on this records kills; very intense, proto hardcore punk rock, with great lyrics to boot. Their dismantling of the band Yes in the beginning of the song No God of the second side is funny and devastating!

Really, I can't say enough about how great I think this record was. Absolutely a must have for any collector of California/LA punk, or punk rock in general.

The yellow colored, folded paper sleeve is in VG to VG+ condition. It has some creasing on the edges, a couple dings on the edges, but nothing I would call a tear of the rather fragile paper sleeve. No staining or fading. It has been kept in an outer plastic sleeve the whole time I have owned it.

The vinyl is also in VG to VG+ condition. I have definitely played this more than a few times over the years, but it has no skips, no pops or other extraneous noise.  There is one very light, almost imperceptible scratch on the vinyl at the very beginning of the song Circle One, that has absolutely no effect on the sound quality of the record.  

Please, do not bid if you do not have any feedback as a buyer, or if you do not have a good track record with Ebay.
